Follow-up toConcerta + Ritalin
At my last appointment, the doctor prescribed Ritalin 10mg after lunch, alongside my morning Concerta 36mg. I felt that Ritalin 10mg is too strong, it made me overly stimulated, like when I tried Concerta 18mg as an afternoon booster, wheth…
I’ve been taking 36 mg of Concerta for a month now. My concentration, ability to get started and emotional regulation have improved, but the stream of thoughts hasn’t gone away. I’ve heard that people say, after taking medication, that it b…
I was on 50mg vyvanse after feeling a drop off in effectiveness on 30mg. However, 50mg made me hyperactive with crazy crashes in the evenings, so my doctor brought me back down to 30mg, with a 5mg/10mg dex as a booster in the afternoons. I…
• Initial Phases (18 & 36 mg): Had a good start, but efficacy dropped over time. Led to overthinking, distraction, low motivation, and heightened sensory sensitivity (light/sound). • The 54 mg Dose: Provided zero benefit. Caused severe anx…
Concerta gave me a lot of energy and motivation but made me extremely unstable and depressed after the effect wore off. Vyvanse gives me emotional stability, also working really well for my ADHD symptoms, but I miss the motivation to do thi…

I'm on 60mg of vyvanse now, and it's going really well It lasts about 8 hours, so I have the option of adding a dexedrine in the afternoon, like 5 mg or 10 mg Curious what other experiences with a dexedrine booster ???
I started taking concerta when I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was on 36mg for about a year, and it worked for me pretty well. It helped me stay on top of full-time work. Next year, I felt it wasn't working like before. Went up to 54 mg aft…
I have been on concerta 36 for more than a year now. I want to ask my doctor at my next appointment to add ritalin 10 mg to support me on heavy workdays after 5 pm, is it working for you? Note: I tried to add Concerta 18 in the afternoon…
My Concerta dose is 36 mg in the morning, and my Seroxat dose is 37.5 mg in the evening. I feel that the antidepressant's effects are reducing the effectiveness of Concerta. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Has anyone tried taking benzodiazepines to control anxiety before a meeting or appointment on a day when they have already taken Concerta?
